The Research Committee of the Huron County Chapter/OGS is comprised of Chapter members who, while not certified genealogists, are experienced in genealogical research in Huron County. To facilitate the duties of the researchers, the Executive Committee has formulated the following instructions and guidelines.

FOR MEMBERS

Committee members will spend one hour researching Huron County publications pertaining to the time period requested. Each request should be a specific as possible, including time period, township (if known), and only one or two surnames. There will be no fee for this service other than the actual costs incurred through photocopying. Information can be sent by e-mail, if desired. Inquirers must enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope, if a paper copy is to be mailed.

Additionally, the committee members will be available to perform more extensive and involved research at the Huron County Courthouse, Huron County libraries, the Laning-Young Research Center, and other Huron County locations as their time permits. This service is available at the following rates: $50 for 5 hours or $100 for 12 hours. This does not include actual costs incurred.

Requests will be answered in the order received. Unfortunately, the researchers will be unable to undertake analysis or organization of data on any request. All initial correspondence can be mailed to the chapter mailing address: Huron County Chapter OGS, PO Box 923, Norwalk, Ohio 44857, or e-mailed to huroncoogs@gmail.com. Payment must be by check made out to Huron County Chapter, OGS for the scholarship fund. The chapter is unable to accept checks made out to individual members.

FOR NON-MEMBERS

Research service is available for non-members. A donation to the chapter publication fund will be expected for any type of research requested in place of the 1-hour free service. This donation must be paid by check to the Huron County Chapter OGS for our publication fund. If you wish to join instead, the 1-hour will be free as stated above. Refer to our membership application form for details.

As stated for members, extensive research is available for $50 for 5 hours or $100 for 12 hours. This does not include actual costs incurred. Payment for this service must also be made by check to the Huron County Chapter, OGS for the scholarship fund.
